Listen to talk radio around Denver and Colorado basketball coach Tad Boyle could be condo hunting in Venice Beach any minute now.

The debate isn’t whether he’ll be considered for the UCLA job. It’s whether he’ll take it. It’s whether Colorado should be insulted if he leaves.

Take a deep breath, Colorado. Now exhale. Just because UCLA has an opening and Boyle sent Colorado to a third straight 20-win season for the first time doesn’t mean UCLA AD Dan Guerrero is jetting to Boulder wearing a trench coat and a fedora.

Think about it. If you’re Guerrero, how are you going to sell Tad Boyle to Westwood? “HE LED COLORADO TO THE NCAA TOURNAMENT TWO YEARS IN A ROW!!!”

Um, Ben Howland led UCLA to three FINAL FOURS in a row and just won the Pac-12 title. That was just enough to get him fired.

UCLA needs to sell tickets and win national championships while entertaining with a coaching personality who can keep his voice heard amid the kaleidoscope of personalties in L.A. Boyle, while as good a coach as there is in the Pac-12, won’t sell tickets. He has no Final Four track record.

People in L.A. know this. ESPNla.com listed Boyle among the second-tier “wanna be’s” along with Oregon’s Dana Altman, Wichita State’s Gregg Marshall and Memphis’ Josh Pastner and below first-tier wanna be’s like Washington’s Lorenzo Romar, whose star has fallen in Seattle and I hear would love a return to his alma mater.

According to ESPNla.com, UCLA’s wish list includes Villanova’s Jay Wright (sources tell me he has no interest leaving Philadelphia), Butler’s Brad Stevens (not an L.A. guy — at all.), North Carolina State’s Mark Gottfried (a former Bruins assistant who reportedly wants the job and is, oddly, getting approving nods from UCLA alumni), Florida’s Billy Donovan (yeah, right) and Virginia Commonwealth’s Shaka Smart (is about to sign an extension, according to USA Today, that would triple his salary from $420,000 to $1.2 million plus increase in recruiting budget).

My pick would be Mike Brown. He has the cache of coaching LeBron James which makes up for his flame out with the Lakers. He still lives in the area. He’d play an entertaining, up-tempo style that would attract students who stayed away in droves this season and is an engaging personality who would attract an L.A. media stretched way too thin.

John, Romar’s alma mater is UDUB, not UCLA. He was an assistant under Harrick when they won a national title in ’95. I think you’re spot on with Mike Brown. UCLA has to make a splash hire after letting go of Howland with his success.
